Diagnostic naso-endoscopy revealed a fleshy polypoid mass occupying the right nasal cavity encroaching into the nasopharynx. The mass was tender and firm, and bled on touch. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging done two months prior showed a large, heterogenous mass in the right nasal cavity, partly involving the maxillary sinus, and extending into the nasopharynx. The findings were corroborated in a recent contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan that revealed mild contrast uptake and bone remodeling due to expansile nature of the mass without any erosion. An infected antrochoanal polyp, vascular tumor, and neoplastic lesions (including inverted papilloma) were considered as differentials. A subsequent punch biopsy revealed histologic pictures suggestive of IPEH. The mass was excised completely through endonasal endoscopic approach, and it was found to originate from the right inferior turbinate. The final histopathology confirmed the biopsy findings.
